Austrian Wine
Fluchtachterl, Sturm, GrüVe, Heurigen… these strange Viennese dialect terms are part of the Austrian wine culture.
However, no dictionary is needed when you hear, smell and taste more during a stroll through the wine-bars, vinotheques and wine cellars in Vienna’s Old Town.
In Grinzing, a suburb of Vienna, wine dates back to Roman times and the tradition continues.
Enjoy a tour through the vineyards and taste the wine at a Heurigen (wine tavern), where you may wish to sample delicious Austrian dishes.
